Hello, fall

H&M sweater, ASOS fishtail dress, Zara sandals

A key sign of autumn, in addition to swirling red leaves on the ground, is the permanent clutching of a pumpkin spiced soy latte in my hand (seasonal siamese twin). Anyway, I like the return of easy-to-throw-on-crewneck-sweaters for fall, and this one has some cool details to keep things more interesting. I got it at the H&M in Hong Kong this past summer, which I swear has edgier clothing because of market demand. The pieces at Seattle's H&M are so safe, probably because citizens are too busy buying FiveFinger shoes. What, you mean we won't be seeing those at Fashion Week?

I was just wondering why I never found anything that cool at the Tacoma H&M. . . And you're reminding me to check out Asos. I bought a few things there last summer but I haven't ordered since. I love your dress!

Great sweater! I've been on the hunt for one of those high-low hem sweaters, but most options seem so expensive for what they are (I'm looking at you, Alexander Wang!) J+ Uniqlo had a fantastic one, but of course it's now impossible to find.
